The towpath is a scenic part of the Lagan and Lough National Cycle Network Route 9 and forms a
sustainable transport link between the cities of Lisburn and Belfast. Whether you are commuting to work or out with the family the towpath is a readily accessible route combining the quiet tranquillity of the riverside and the freedom from traffic. The route through the Lagan Valley is a mixed use path and cyclists must give way to pedestrians along this section and use a bell to warn others of their approach.

Please note that work is scheduled to be carried out between Drumbridge and Gilchrist bridge on resurfacing the towpath, which will mean this section is closed for a period of 4 weeks. The work is due to commence during November 2009
